Yes, you'll first need to configure your router for port forwarding. Ports 21 and the passive port range, which can be configured in the Services tab, must be forwarded to the ReadyNAS IP address. Also set the "Masquerade as" setting to your external IP address or domain name.

In the Services page, select Anonymous for FTP mode. Note that Anonymous FTP is the only mode available in Share mode. Try changing the MTU on your router to 1492. This is often needed when the ReadyNAS is connected to the Internet through a Cable-based broadband service. You will need to setup the ReadyNAS for passive (PASV) FTP. To do this, go to the Services page and setup the options under FTP.

Port-forwarding is a way of selectively allowing access from a WAN (Internet) to your LAN through your existing router firewall. Only the network protocol "ports" that you forward will be allowed access to a particular box on your LAN. For instance, if you want to enable only FTP access to your ReadyNAS, simply forward ports 20 and 21 on your router to the ReadyNAS IP. You can do the same for HTTP or HTTPS by forwarding ports 80 and 443.

All library departments, computer labs, offices, dorm rooms, and any other computers that are connected to the university network have access to the Internet. We prefer that computers in the library departments be used for research purposes rather than email, chat rooms, net surfing, etc.

If you will be using AFP, from the Finder, select Go → Network → My Network → AFP on Hostname. If you will be using CIFS/SMB, from the Finder, select Go → Network → Workgroup → Hostname. Another option is Go → Connect to Server → Enter server address. This can be used to connect using SMB, AFP or NFS by entering the protocol then the IP of the NAS (e.g. smb://192.168.168.168, afp://192.168.168.168, nfs://192.168.168.168/sharename).

You can access your FTP site from the www.Dotme.ws home page or in Internet Explorer and Netscape type "ftp://yourdomainname:1021". Logon using your user ID and password. If you use a third party FTP program and need assistance contact us at techsupport@dotme.ws.

Point your FTP client at ftp.freeasphost.co.uk. You will be prompted to enter your username and password. Once you have successfully logged on, your FTP client will show you the contents of your home folder. This has two subdirectories : a folder for your website, and one for non-website data, eg data files or configuration files. This is the only folder the webserver has write access to, so it's ideal for placing Access databases.
